Take it out, clean it with nitro cleaner or alcohol, dry it well, reinstall it. Do NOT oil or grease it. Clean the shaft too and if the shaft is glazed use some very fine grit emory paper and sand it lightly lenghtwise to break the glaze.

My experence is just go ahead and replace it but maybe I was just unlucky.
The part is about $20.
