If the brush holder angle is adjustable then reversing the angle is the right way to go. On the other hand, if the brush holder is riveted together, contact the mfg and try to get a reversed brush holder. Running a motor with angled brushes in reverse can cause the brushes to catch on the comm bars and destroy the motor.

Of course YMMV Bart.
