aldav53,
If you are needing to relocate the meter so the power company can access it I think you could just move the meter only and leave the main in its existing location. This would allow the neutral and ground bonding to remain in its current location. You would need a blank installed at the old meter location. I have seen this done in my area and the blank snaps into the old meter location and provides a jumber across the meter connections. I think the power company supplied these blanks but I'm not sure.
I've never seen one on an overhead service but have seen them on underground services. The meter was placed in pedistal out by the road in front of the house. The service lateral was dug up near the j-box or transformer and the pedistal meter was installed in the service lateral. Neutral and Ground bonding remained at the old meter location. I would think this would also be possible with an overhead drop.
