Dragging front brake/ Star Adjuster?

I jacked up the front end on both wheels to lube the kingpin zircs, the drivers side wheel still spins free, pass. side wheel drags a tiny bit. No problem I thought, I'll adjust the star wheel off a bit. Doesn't seem to do much of anything, tried a BFH on the drum, is there something frozen or corroded? What's the best way to free that up?

if im not mistaken a drum brake should drag slightly when adjusted properly only a couple of rotations before stopping. maybe the problem is the other side?? just a thought...
