Could this be making my engine unbalanced?

I removed my power steering pump a few months back to paint the bracket. When I went to reinstall the pulley the installer screw borke and its still stuck in my pulley. Its been like that ever since I was just wonder if this is really bad??

It's not going to make your engine unbalanced. As long as your PS still works, I don't see any harm.

yeah it works fine I was just wondering just in case...I got to looking at it and relized it couldnt make the engine unbalanced just the power steering pump. If I ever have to get it off I guess I will have to cut it off. Oh well.

to unbalance the engine you'd need to change the mass of an internal part, not something on the outside. like was already said if it's working don't worry about it.
