after oiling, I tap on the caps with a hard wood block - that generally loosens them up.
If th slide has been stuck for a long while, the chance of freeing it up "self help" without damage is not too great. The scarf that Veery mentions is the most drastic thing that you should try yourself. Call your local repair shop and ask for a quote INCLUDING chemical cleaning. Believe me, you will not be sorry! If slides are stuck, there are often other things crawling around in your horn!!!!!!!!
