dismantler
One who disassembles
A dismantler is someone or something that takes apart or breaks down structures, systems, or organizations.
The word applies to workers who disassemble machinery or vehicles for salvage, and figuratively to people who systematically undo established institutions: a dismantler of bureaucracy, auto dismantlers sell used parts.
