Client components got corrupted in SQL Server 2005. I need to uninstall and reinstall the client components in SQL Server 2005. Is it possible to do so and if yes how???

Do you have the installation media (DVD, most likely)? If so, you should be able to reinstall the client tools pretty easily from that.

Since this is a productiopn server I am not sure whether it will mess up anything. If I run setup from media will it give the option to uninstall the client component and then re running the set up give me the option to install the client components again???

Try it on a dev/test server first. Definitely don't mess around with the production server unless you have to.
