Post in your model specific section. You will get more replies. Looks like you need to change it.
please tell your friend to stop messing with cars, he is not cut out for it, and he has just cost you a new strut. that one is dangerous to re use. next time you get a stuck bolt like that, cut the head off and then wind a nut onto the thread and slowly tighten it to pull the bolt through. this will release it a bit to help out. alternatively, remove the strut and use a press to push it out.
Cheers guys,should have had a go at it myself but been well busy.Dont worry had a right go at him.He is normally good with cars but this time he defo fxcked up.How much for another upright and where from.Seen a Audi A6 c5 one for sale but is it different from the C6.Also anyone got any idea on what size the hub nut allen key is on drive shaft.
Also could admin please feel free to move this to correct model section.Sorry i am new and thought tech section was ok.
