05 sharan 1.9 tdi starter motor removal

Hi all, starter motor sticking in the morning, so going to replace. Is it possible to change from under the car, or do I need to remove the battery tray...many thanks.

I do most of the work from below as the design of the front end makes access above awkward.

Thank you. So it can be done without removing the battery tray? It looks like a pain!
