An Update of Cleaning a S-A hub.

So I went the kerosine route in cleaning my S-A 3-speed hub. I should mention that it has coaster brakes. Initially after adding 20W non-deterent oil, I was getting some brake squeaking when I applied the brakes. Now a more serious problem has shown its ugly head. No squeaking, but the brakes won't release right away after I come to a stop. I sort of have to back the bike up. Do I need more oil or what?
