First and easiest fix is to pull them out and apply a little lube (I use white grease) to the shaft you exposed. These things get water dripped on them and tend to bind up. If that does not help, you can go in further.

I eventually replaced mine with Valterra valves, but, honestly, the new ones feel about the same as OEM. Some say they got stranded cables from the factory and that is the problem, but my factory cables were solid just like the Valterra replacements.
