Default Rear Handbrake mechanism seized

Hi,
The handbrake mechanism which operates one of the wheel cylinders on my V40 keeps seizing.
I have released it by using WD40 and moving it back and for until it operates correctly, but the same problem recurs 6 weeks later.
Can anyone tell me if there is a trick to permanently fixing this problem without replacing the caliper?
Thanks,
Cameron
