Hydraulic steering problems

What kind of pump you run?

Is it a KRC? Black body with anodized red fittings?

Locked up how? Steering wheel turns and nnothing happens at the wheels? Or wheel wont move? Or something else entirely?

That happens to mine once I just wiggled and worked it back and forth and it broke free like there was a hunk of something in the orbital works fine now

Might very well have broken the P/S pump shaft, I have seen that a few times now.

Re: Hydraulic steering problems

I had an orbital lock up once. I ran the motor up to 6k several times and the steering popped like it shoved a big pocket of air through. It worked from then on. I'm not sure if it was air or trash but none the less it worked.
