Carefully!

Assuming its petrol, it sits just in front of the fuel tank. The clamp is held on by a single M6 bolt, connections are quick release same as under the bonnet.

The only difficulty is the M6 bolt which is at the upper floor level (top of tank) and your trying to replace it from about 8" away.

Never had to do that! Just need an 8mm socket on about 8" extension.

Even Ford wouldn't make a service part that difficult to change.
