Hello, I'm Danny.

The power steering pulley is attached to the pump with 3 bolts. You will need to remove the serpentine belt to remove the pulley. Prior to removing the belt I would first loosen the pulley bolts to make removal easier. Here is a tutorial showing how to remove and replace a serpentine belt:

I've attached picture steps below on how to replace the serpentine belt on your car as well as a picture of the power steering pump pulley. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
