Make sure you disconnect the battery first, you don't want to take a chance on setting off the airbag. After you remove the airbag, you will have to remove the steering wheel nut, and steering wheel spokes. You will require a puller to pull the steering wheel off the shaft.

hey srinivasbham,
This is how i would start, the most common problem with loosing your power steering is low fluid. The first thing i would do is check your power steering level. If it is significantly low, this is most likely your problem, just top it off and your on your way. Two other common problems are the power steering pump failing and a loose serpentine belt.
If the pump is failing then it starts to make a groaning noise, but before you think the pump is bad make sure the fluid is full. Also if your serpentine belt is the problem you will get a high pitch squeal while turning.
Start their, and let me know i you need more info.
