If there is no wiring diagram on the motor , it will be difficult to tell you if it is even possible unless we would be able to see the wiring connections and recognize what is available. Usually reversible motors will have the diagram right on the rating plate.

There are two run coils and two start coils. The run coil wiring set has to be

reversed to get the motor to start in the other direction.  The start coil is

closest to the armature.  Below is more info.
