Sounds like the CV joint has failed. About ?30 from GSF or thereabouts. The tow probably destroyed it (so it fell apart when the boot was taken back) but it would have been dead already, given that the friend couldn't put power to the road through it.

You don't mention inner or outer, but if its an inner you'll need M8 12 spline tool to undo the bolts and a pair of circlip pliers; if its the outer, I think you'll need a 27mm deep socket to remove the hub (don't quote me on size, might be 30mm, can't remember).
