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.
