I only have one question - Why?
You need an inspection if you are simply troubleshooting a problem and end up pulling meter to inspect condition of terminations in there? If you end up replacing something that may change things, but just to look?
Here is how it is in Michigan (by the letter of the law)
True story:
Last year I knew I had a bad neutral connection in my meter socket. POCO sends out linesman. They explain to me that if they pull the meter for me to look inside, and I find what I am looking for, in order to make the repair I have to go through the permit process. Well, that would mean me being without power for a day or two.
They also didn't think I knew what I was talking about until I showed them my license.
I also told them that the imbalance in my house was a hazard, not only to my equipment but a potential fire hazard as well (180 volts through a load meant for 120 can get awful hot) and that as soon as they left I was going to pull the meter and fix the neutral with or without their cooperation. I know the inspector here and I would rather ask for his forgiveness than let the problem go on any longer.
So, the linesmen give in a little and pull the meter. Lo and behold, the neutral connection was corroded and was not making a proper connection.
OK, so now I have to fix it hot, or talk them into cutting me. I told them I was 'old school' and had been working on hot stuff for twenty five years and most of that was 480.
One of the linesman looked up and decided that the connectors in my drop were bad and needed to be replaced. He told me I had about 10 minutes to do my thing as they replaced the 'bad' triplex connectors.
I fixed the bad neutral as they watched (they had never seen it done successfully before, usually the bolt or screw breaks off). They put everything back together and before they left I loaded up circuits and verified that my diagnosis and repair was correct.
If I hadn't been an electrician, and a determined one at that, I (rightfully so) would have had to gone through the permit / inspection process to work inside that can.
