The OP (Lee) on this thread here... http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/10105-fuel-pressure-regulator-valve/ appears to have replaced his own HPP, so you could try PM-ing him for advice. Or you could be really cheeky and contact an eBay seller and ask for advice on how easy it is to change "as you are thinking of buying theirs, but don't know if you need special tools", etc. Or you could start a new thread in the Diesel Faults folder on this site asking this specific question?
None of us can be sure that replacing the HPP is going to resolve your problem (especially as the mileage is on the low side, as Fahad has already remarked upon), but since you have access to an apparently 'good' used pump then I agree that it is a reasonable course of action (if only for elimination). Despite the 144k miles if it's a good pump, then it's a good pump!
This thread here... http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/3503-power-losshesitation-and-now-starting-problems/ has very recently ended on a happy note and - after a few other repair attempts - was eventually found to be a 'fuel pump' issue.
Good luck, and I guess there are a number of us looking forward to you reporting back, hopefully with good news!
