to get to the sump bolt ona 4x4 does the undertray have to come off and if so is it easy to get it off?

Can't remember, don't think it has to, but it's easy to remove in any case

Putting it back can be a bit of a pain since you need to align the undertray holes with those in the chassis, once you've done that, you need to hold on to the undertray, grab a bolt (probably out of reach at that point) and try and get it into the chassis nut, then do it again on the other side.

Once of those fiddly jobs where two pairs of eyes and hands are much easier than one
