BMW 320 Steering Problem

Power steering just gone, can barely turn the steering wheel. Fluid present and steering belt in place.
Could this be something to do with the rack or the pump, and how do I find out. Had taken front drivers wheel off last week but put back properly and was all running normal for three days

The pump shaft may be broken inside the power steering pump, remove the belt and see if the pulley comes out of the pump.
