fan pulley bracket problems

[stinkhands]

I ran my 94 4runner V6 into the ground, the fan pulley bracket seized and blew the pulley of the bracket. The shop wants $1270 to fix this. The bracket is only $99 for the part and yeah installation will be a bit*h but not $1270 worth (i only paid $1600 for it 3 years ago). My concern is theres about a 1.5 inch shaft that comes out of the bracket and this is where the break occurred. Does this shaft run all the way into the engine itself to hold the pulley or is this part of the fan bracket?

My runner is still drivable with no power steering or alternator and it overheats after awhile because of the radiator leak but i can get it too and from if i need (but im letting it sit for the most part except the drive to the shop) with driving it these short distances cause any further damage of am i ok with very very limited driving till i can fix the problem?

Thanks

overheating will be the death blow

the pulley bracket is independent of the motor internals. It is time for a timing belt, water pump, thermostat, radiator service. You need to find another shop it is a five hour job.
It might be time to sell , if you don't want/cant to invest in proper repairs. The option is to grab the FSM and have a go at it yourself

So the pulley bracket, timing belt, thermo, water pump and radiator were all that were affected in this blow out?

Also any suggestions of sale value of it in the broken down condition? 215,000 miles

Colorado, sun damage to the paint interior is ok except the roof lining is gone so everything up top is exposed
