Default reversing integy pro 55t?

I am building a clod with two motors and I know i have to reverse one of them and i think i know how to do it but i just want to make sure it gets done right. it is an Integy pro lathe 55t motor (ive heard it isnt great but it is what i have to work with for now). can someone plz help in telling me how to do this. and also i was wondering about capacitors on this motor. i read somewhere that i probably would not need them but i just wanted to make sure. thank you.

I'm new to brushed motors but I think you just swap the two wires over so it goes the other way, on my integy lathes i just left the capacitor/led circuit board the way it was and it seems to work ok.

I swap the two motor leads black to + red to -.

As far as capacitors go I've never used them.

Correct. Just swap the black and red wires and she'll spin the other direction.

thank you all for that answer. ive read other places about unscrewing the end bell and turning it 180 degrees and things. but just reversing the wires will be much easier. thank you. anyone know about the capacitors with this motor?
