belt?? squeeling

I think my belt is squeeling at me. It is more pronounced when it's real humid or raining. I can't find any frays or cracks or anything on it. Should I try tightening it first? Do I do that by moving the ?arm? on the left side that pushes on it? Or should I just buy a new belt. I've never replaced a belt so I don't know how hard that is.

I've replaced belts on an 87 and 95 Bronco.
Both had the tensioner pully and took 5 minutes to replace. A cheap belt will cost you around $15. I used belt dressing on my belt about once a week so it'd stop squeeking until I was able to replace it.

This site will show how to do lots of stuff, including changing the belt. Squealing usually comes from dry pulley bearings, and most often from the idler or tensioner pulley.
