By doing it really really fast?

Don't think there is more than one way? Just pull up the rear seats and you shoudl be able to get at the lift pump from there?
There may be a strainer on the bottom of the pump, make sure you clean it before you put it all back.

just the right way of doing it i have had the back seats up and carnt see a access flap

you can either cut a hole under neath the seat, there should be a circle plate, cut that out n thats where the pump is, if not drop the tank

in case anybody else thinking of this. on the mark 5 we have to drop fuel tank to gain access to fuel pump/sender unit as its a combined thing and no access under seat.
later fiesta apparently had access plate and a 'screw' type fitting.
ensure you have little full in tank when doing this! support car well. if no ramps? axle stand etc have a garage do it.
