pretty much ALL the later common rail diesel engines have to come apart in this way. It's a nightmare for most because the damn things almost always sieze in...

One of mine had, somebody had tried mine before and looked like they failed, took me 20 minutes to remove 3 and about 4 hours to remove the last one with a puller I cobled together...
