Motor direction reversal

I have an ITT ex pump motor in as new condition which I was planning on fitting with a buffing pigtail but I would prefer it if it rotated in the opposite direction!

It's a single phase .55kw motor with a run winding and a start winding with a capacitor in series.

Normally the start winding connections would be reversed to alter direction but there's only 3 wires coming out of the motor casing as one wire is a common for both windings, so reversal can't be performed in it's junction box.

Do the panel think the joining of the two windings is probably going to be inaccessible if I open the case up?
