My car 1989 oldsmobile cutlass ciera 3.3L 6 cyl 4 door with AC ~130k miles
I have several questions, feel free to answer any that you may know.
The pulley that sticks out of my water pump snapped off somehow and has left me stranded (at home thank goodness). I don't know how to replace it.
Here are some pictures. 4 included..

My apologies as I could not get my camera to take a clear picture.
On the shaft there is still a little piece of the leftover pulley but i don't know how to remove it. Can someone tell me how to take it off?
Does the entire water pump need to be removed?
Does the entire shaft need to be replaced?
Can I just pop off the leftover piece and replace it with a new pulley?
I called my local autozone and advanced auto parts and they both said that the water pump they carry for my car does not include a pulley. They also can not order the pulley that i need. Any recommendations on where i should order one from?
Thank you so much for your time!

You've already been told the correct information.
The whole water pump has to be replaced
you have to purchase a pulley and the bolts that hold it on separately.
You need to inspect for any damage the pulley could have done when it flew off like to the radiator.
You should also replace the belt as that one will be damaged.

Thank you for your response but i'm still unsure about how that rod and (leftover) pulley are removed. When i unbolt the water pump will the shaft come out with it, or does that come off with special tools?

The pictures DS posted pretty much explains what the new pump looks like. I hope you don't plan on attempting this yourself. There is a lot of technique involved in getting the new one to seal properly.

Alright, thanks again for your time guys. I'm not sure what I'll have to do because I can't move it nor do I know anyone that can fix it. Guess I'll have to try my luck at it. Have a good evening Gents!

I really don't advise that. You will likely create new problems and end up having to pay someone twice as much as you would now. Have it towed to a reputable shop. If you really can't afford to do that, then I'm afraid owning a car is not for you.
