VMware Workstation on linux: guest direct access on unmounted drive [/dev/sdX (hfs+)]

Ruing OS X 10.11 guest on VMware Workstation 12 on Kubuntu Xenial host.

I need direct access to unmounted HDD [ /dev/sdX (hfs+) on host] for disk repair operations in VMware OS X 10.11 guest with pdisk.

Is there a way?
