A Slight amount of WD40 on the shaft where it enters the bushing ought to
fix it.

Subject: [Yaesu] VFO Shaft Locked Up
At 0430Z Saturday of the CQ WW SSB DX Contest,
the Main Tuning Control Shaft FROZE UP on my
FT-990. I assume this was caused by galling between
the shaft and the outer sleeve on the optical controller.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Can it be repaired?
Does Yaesu have a permanent solution to this problem?
(i.e., if I buy a replacement control will it last 'forever'?)
Has this problem ever presented itself on any of the
newer radios?
