I had such a problem with a '76 Honda Civic. My cure was to wack it
(starter) with a jack handle and this worked for nearly a year after
which I had it rebuilt..

I clean the battery contacts, they were ticght and spray WD-40 on the
contacts. The ground to the body had a little white residue. The
WD-40 seemed to do the trick at first. Later in the day after 4 or 5
starts it seemed like we were back to trouble starting. I think the
starter may be going.

Anyone know how hard it is to swap it out on an Accord?

On my 94 Integra,I bought the parts for $30 PPD,and replaced the contacts
and plunger myself.
The hardest part was getting out the lower starter bolt.(a LONG one,and
frozen in)

Doing the solenoid was easy.
