Best thing is to let a repair tech with the right tools handle it. On the really old tubas, you stand a pretty good chance of pulling the instrument apart. You can try some penetrating oil on the slides with a little heating with a hair dryer and some not-too-forceful tugging on a rag looped through the slide. But don't overdo or you'll pull the slide and tubing right off of the valve cluster!
