You Need to state Model as in engine size, age and stuff, As there are just so many Engines been put in an Escort over the years, I did a water pump on a 1995 M reg 1.8 Zetec a few months ago, took me in total 5 hours as some bolts would not come out,was a pain in the @ss but they did in the end with time to think about it, please update your details....Edit...For the Benefit of those not all in the No!!...All Escort Engines After about 1986 were fitted with 1.3,1.4 ,1.6. CVH Engines, and All had a Water pump driven by the Cam Belt...All others were 1.1,1.3,1.6 litre OHV Engines that were driven by the Fan Belt, then you go on to the 2.0 Pinto in the Mk2 Mexico and RS2000....
well simply if there quite a bit of room infront of the water pump so u can take the belt, pulley, and nuts, then probably and hour or two. but if it looks very tight by it then about 3-4 maybe even 5 if it requires u to lift out the engine. but then also give some time about 20 min to properly fill and remove any bubbles in the cooling system.
if you have a mk1 2 or 3 the simplicity of the cars design means if you know what your doing it should only take an hour or 2 newer models take longer but it shouldn't be to hard good luck
Depending on the year/engine

usually takes 2 to 4 hrs.
1 hour
it will be about 1 hour, unless the bolts snap! Then give it 4 hours!
every 6 months
