The menu shortcuts make replacements like this pretty fast. Select the text you 
need to change, Command-E to set the find pattern, replace the text and 
re-select it, Command-Option-E to set the replacement pattern, and then 
Command-Option-= to replace all. I think those are all standard shortcuts.

I usually modify this slightly. I have Command-Option-F set to Replace and Find 
Next so I usually cycle through the document that way rather than doing a 
Replace All, glancing at the replacements as I go to make sure they are all 
valid. If any aren't, I use Command-G to skip over them.
