Gaage door motor reversing

[bedlam]

Greetings,
I have a Liftmaster garage door , That has the Smart Board burned out from a lightning strike or surge.
The motor ran fine to open it, but allowed it to run still even when the limiter switch engaged.
I would like to know if the motor , could be wired directly to a switch.(momentary) as to operate in both reverse and forward?Basically eliminating all the board and eye functions.
Overall the question is is the motor reversible without the board?
Thanks Al

no it cannot! two of the motor's leads need to be reversed for each direction change.
