Ok national grid owns the wire up to the drip loop. Electrician owns the service drop and meter socket installation.

That being said call your town hall ask to speak to the electrical inspector. Tell him what you are doing. He may allow you to pull a permit to remove the meter socket and re install it.

If you need help I am a contractor in MA with a Masters license. Depending in travel etc. it will probably run you about 350 bucks including permit. That is if you have the backboard cut and a pie e of flashing ready to go.

It is probably 4 screws just depends on how you feel about working around live unfused voltage. A lot can go wrong with primary voltage. I took an arc on a residential service at the beginning of the summer it was awful. Facial burns and metal in my chest. I got it wet and cooled fast enough that I avoided scarring but the pain was intolerable. It is a 2 hour job
