EDP Pump

Suppose a bearing in the pump has gone, or the lubrication system has failed and the pump is grinding metal on metal?
The EDP lubrication system is the system hydraulic oil.
If you had a bearing failure and or grinding meat on metal then the EDP quill shaft will be shearing very soon and so disconnect that pump from the gearbox permanently.
