    I don't suppose a fluid flush might free up the stuck shuttle valve? Instead of power steering fluid, you might try ATF and mixed a little bit of Lucas Transmisison Fix. Really any high quality ATF fluid would be worth a try...high detergent package and good lubrication.

    Of course it could do some unintended damage to your pump, try at your own risk, caution filling is hot, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your action, I'm off my meds, and this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

    Cheers,
