Further inspection after initial frustration

Further inspection looks like pully and plate behind it (name?) are ok. No damage to pully.

It was dangling by two bolts which had not sheared off but had worked their way out of the pully. I apparently drove it across the street and into my drive with the pully off the engine. Didn't know.

I have those two bolts. It happened while car was at idle and parked. So no damage to fan or radiator.

Don't think that the new belts that I put on myself were damaged, although I may have overtightened them and not known it.

The tips of the bolts to looked damaged but that may have been where they were loose and being spun around or hitting metal, not from shearing off.

How long are these bolts supposed to be?
I pulled off pully and metal plate behind it.

Sorry for the frustration, but sometimes measured amounts of pain like car payments each month are easier to take than big repair bills. I guess that is what I was trying to say. This looks fixable without much problem, but how do you get much torque on a allen head bolt to tighten that pully on crankshaft??
