is it shattered? or did the rubber on it break, ive seen it several times where the rubber on it let go and the pulley part separated causing the belt to jump off.

it looks like the rubber on it went out and cause the pulled to come off.

ok, so it isnt shattered, like you posted. It merely failed in the most normal of fashions... the rubber ring delaminated, and the outer section came apart... We have come to know this is the NORMAL failure of this part. unbolt the pulley, its held on by 4 bolts. then start working on the crank bolt. its 15/16"

They told me it shattered... Just telling you when they told me.
We got it off but apparently this had happened before, seeing as though the threading is ****ed up. Does anyone know the size of the bolt so I know what size of tap and die kit to buy?

Everything I have found are between 2 inches and 2.05 inches long. I'm sure the 2 inch will work fine.
The thread size is 5/8" -18. (18 is the thread count size. VERY important.)
I had to put a new bolt on my old camaro for its harmonic balancer just recently. Just go to Home Depot and go to the bolt isle. They have a whole WALL of different sizes.
Just look for:
2" x 5/8" - 18
