Once they get sticky it seems really hard to get them completely freed up 
again. I think you have to pop the caps rather regularly and add light oil 
several times to make this happen. Once they free up you can switch to a 
heavier oil. While you have the cap open, clean any rust out of the pocket 
there.

I have problems with these, too.
