Depends on what kind of inserts are on his car. If they're original Boge inserts, they are likely the type that has the oil within the strut tube (remove the insert and a bunch of oil and shock guts come out with the shaft) vs. the self-contained inserts like the typical Bilstein replacement inserts.
Whatever the case with the inserts, I think you should remove the strut from the car and clean it up well so you can weld completely around the perimeter of the spindle collar.
