I think you have some mechanical know-how. Maybe get a Corteco pulley and start doing the job yourself - you know, all the prep work - then get a mobile mechanic to come by with a strong impact gun to get the pulley off and the new one secured on. Then you can reassemble everything yourself. Hopefully there is a mobile mechanic who has the special tool for the pulley bolt.

Yea I've got the know how but it's getting the barstd bolt of and don't have a mobile mech.

It’s kind of how long is a piece of string, I’d be changing it ASAP if you can, as you don’t want to be broken down by the side of the road going nowhere.

I kind of thought that I guess I better stay off it.
