The best way to avoid stuck slides is to keep them clean and lightly greased, moving them every couple of months so they never get stuck. If you know you are not going to use the instrument for a period of time then consider removing the slides and wrapping them in soft cloth. You can try WD40 or similar lubricant and leave overnight before trying again. That said, if you have got stuck slides then your best bet is to take it to a local repairer to avoid further damaging the instrument - I have had many instruments come to me where Dad has attempted a repair and ended up having to buy a new slide - and in one case a new instrument! www.crumpledhorn.co.uk

You don't unless you know what you are doing. You can try one simple thing that might work if it is not badly stuck. Loop a hankerchief through the slide. Grab the trumpet by the mouthpiece lead pipe just behind the tuning slide and give the hankerchief and easy jerk. (the hankerchief reduces the possibility of putting a crimp in the slide by distributing the force. If the slide moves, wiggle it back and forth until you work it loose and then clean and grease it.
If that doesn't work. STOP. Hire an expert. You have nearly a 100% chance that you will do extreme damage if you try to repair it further.
An expert has skill and additional tools to be successful.

What is a reverse tuning trumpet?
A reverse tuning slide allows the air to flow smoother through the tuning slide area of the trumpet. In most trumpets, the top end of the tuning slide fits into the leadpipe creating a small obstruction where the air meets the rim of the tuning slide (inside the leadpipe). On a reverse tuning slide, however, the tuning slide fits over the leadpipe, eliminating that obstruction and allowing the air (in theory) to flow smoother.
