This is a 240v motor which drives a worm gear assembly. I need for the rotation to go in the opposite direction. Is it possible with this set up. Thanks. Chris

A sketch of the wiring including any external capacitor and/or a photo of the nameplate would help immensely. Failing that, there should be two pairs of wires connecting to two windings emerging from the windings - identify the pairs using a multimeter. Assuming it works correctly at the moment, I would expect that the pairs are either black/green & red/blue or red/green & black/blue. Swap the ends of one pair keeping all other connections unchanged.

You got it in one. I have red and blue wires at one side and green and black at the opposite side all going to the to the windings. Do I have to change one pair over for example the red where the blue was and the blue where the red was. Then leave the rest alone.
Cheers.
