My PS belt squeaks @ rpms below 1500 when it's damp from the rain and such, any way to solve? needs replacement? shed a little light?

you can either tighten it up or (which I would do!) is replace the belt al together! Problem solved!

what procedure needs to be taken to tighten it up?

I attempted to do that a few months ago with the engine running, slipped and managed to cut my finger tip 99% off, had to get it sewed back on

so advice would be helpful

loosen all of the bolts that hold on the p/s pump and make sure that the car is not running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then loosen the 12mm nut on the top of the p/s pump and then tighten the bolt that the 12mm nut is on. Tighten everything back down and then start the car back up.
