Something you could try (though I wouldn't trust the life of a 400/2.8 to this) is to take the legs apart and thoroughly clean them with acetone or some other powerful and non residual cleaner/degreaser. I'd clean the leg locks too, but do test any solvents on some part that isn't going to render the entire rig useless if it turns out that it melts plastic.
