It definitely isn't the best thing, but thankfully I only have to drive a very very short distance to and from work.

Touge Factory pulley set, found here: http://www.tf-works.com/pulleys-belts-17/
Should arrive tomorrow. Tuesday at the latest.

Correct.

Bear in mind it is a bee-atch to remove the crank pulley unless you have the special crank holder tool. It fits inside the pulley, into the large hex-shaped hole, so you can keep the crankshaft from turning while you use a 3-foot pipe extension on your socket wrench to loosen the bolt. Seriously, it's tight. We spent 2 hours trying to get it off and there was nothing we do do to stop the crankshaft from turning. We put the car in gear, parking brakes on, but there is enough slack in the drive line that you need over half a turn on the bolt to get it to loosen, and you don't have that much room to swing your wrench. We ended up borrowing the tool from my local Honda dealer. I don't think they loan tools as a rule but I happened to know the SM pretty well.

You can rent the tool from NAPA auto parts store.

I rented the tool, no way I could have possibly done it without!!

Here is the original pulley after removed, and a visual representation of it being broken.


But, we are all good now!

Just drove it, such a good feeling knowing that my car is safe!
Thank you all for your help, I really appreciate it.

Put an OEM crank pulley on that asap. Just trust me.

Not the 1st Honda crank pulley to come apart, 1st S2000 pulley that I've seen though.
