Answer
The mechanic needs to correct the damage by replacing the whole assembly.  If there was a particular reason he could not remove it then he should have informed you and given you some options. Perhaps you can compromise by you paying for the part and he doing the installation at no additional charge. In any event, I would say it was unsafe to use the car with a damaged Joint.
