Default Removing Engine Under-Tray for Bugeye

The lower radiator hose has come off the radiator and im having trouble reaching in from the top.

Figured only way would be to remove the tray underneath. I havent yet trying jacking up the car yet.

Has anyone removed their tray and any tips when doing this such as best jacking point? I have read there are 4 bolts and clips but could not see these at first glance

any tips would be appreciated.

Just need to get car up high and support on chassis or wheel ramps. It is just 4 bolts and about half a dozen clips and 2 u shaped clips at the back of it. Just make sure car is secure before you get under

which is the best point to jack it up. I have read theres a point near the front-centre just behind the tray

I jack up 1 side at a time then slip an axle stand in not really much accessible in the centre whilst the tray is in place.
