Drill a wee hole almost through the plug, screw in the hammer, bang them
out.
Clean out everything you can see with carb cleaner and small picks/drill
bits, and tap in the new plugs. I used drill bits as a drift to set the new
plugs.

This is for CB7 Accords, but yours should be similar.

Regardless of what they told you--they should be replaced at least after
100,000 miles. Some mechanics replace them after 50,000 miles even if they
appear to be in perfect shape. I have about 62,000 miles on my Accord and
plan to replace them the next time that a tune-up is done.

I had the exact same symptoms on an 86 CRX. I always thought it was in the
injection system, since it happened at part throttle, but I could not get
anyone to take it seriously. Never did solve it- finally traded it in on a
94 Acura Integra.

Bob,

This is why I brought it up here. I fear that if I take it to the dealer
and try to explain to them what it's doing they'll say ok, keep the car
all day and then say it didn't do it or that they can't find anything
wrong with it.

Not yet. I don't have a code scanner if in fact you need one
or know how to get the codes. In fact I don't even know if the dealer
checks for codes while the car is in for scheduled maintenance.

The car has stock plugs in it. NGK. They were replaced at 150K.
