Subject: Left-Handed Drill Driver??

I have a DeWalt 14.4 hammer drill.  It drills and drives
great!!

But.

I find that it was designed for right-handed users.  The
reversing switch goes through the handle just above
where the third knuckle on the index finger rests.  In
the normal drive mode the switch sticks out a bit from
the handle on the left side.

For right-handers this is fine, but for left-handers it is
a pain.  As you twist and move your hand around to
get at those hard to reach places, you find that you
have thrown the switch to the reverse status.

Any DeWalt repairmen out there who can tell me how
much trouble it would be to reverse the wires on that
switch?
