I was looking at the same problem at the weekend. Started fresh with the tension screws, unscrew then screw, lubricate the mounts and the springs, make sure it's all nice and smooth in there. At some point in the screwing/unscrewing, the whole brake went pop and into place. Happy with it since.

With the cable detached try how much they spring back when you apply the brake bike hand, this should tell you if the stickiness is in the brake arms or the cable. Additionally if you need more spring back tension the return spring locating pin may have more than one position on the fork mount.

Ok guys got a pair of tektro v brakes and I seem to have a few issues. I still get one of them sticking.. so it pulls fine but then doesn't back out. I've tightened the tension screw on it quite a bit and loosened the other one and it still stays put. Wondering if it could be the angle of my cable housing ? Just run out of ideas:
