Federal .0001 indicater

I have been dealing with "sticky" indicators for nearly 50 years now; sometimes, after cleaning, I have grasped the body of the indicator and pushed the moving member to one side, top. bottom with some force and sliding it in and out at the same time, often this will loosen things up.

I've done this too! It does work. Just don't put too much force on the stem, you can bend it. I've done that too.
 
Gotta love when you use something like acetone for 30 years, then they come a long and tell you it is bad for your health. Back in the day when I worked with fiberglass insolation, would was down with acetone to get rid of the itching. Only thing that worked. Also used it when I was a manufacturing optician for 25 years. To clean lenses before heat treat.
