I'm going to assume that A) You know how to open the hood and B) You know how to properly raise and support a vehicle and remove the tire. So with that said. Get under the hood. Located behind the engine near the firewall is the steering rack assembly. The first thing you need to do is remove the intermediate shaft pinch blot. This hold the steering column to the steering rack. This is a 12mm bolt (circled in red), that can be removed by a ratchet and 12mm socket.
Make sure you have a drain pan under the steering rack below the steering column. Because, next you will be removing the power steering lines. The power steering return line (yellow arrow) needs to be removed first and can be removed by moving the clamp back on to the line with a pair of pliers and removing the hose by hand. The power steering feed line (green circle) is held in by a 17mm line nut. Loosen the line nut with a 17mm Wrench and pull the line out of the steering rack. Be careful not to get dirt/debris into the lines. If you can cap them some how.
