G3 Winch Problem...

So I thought I had this problem figured out, but its still making the noise. I own 2 G3 Revo winches, one of them makes this grinding/clicking sound when I cast out and the other one doesn't (I have the mag brakes off on both of them). I swapped the side plates on them and the one that wasn't making the noise with the other side plate is making the noise now and vice versa. Anyone know what I can do?

    Try taking a couple drops of oil and putting it on the bearing. Thats in the side plate See if that quiets it down.

    Also clean the break race with some alcohol and try a very very fine film of lol on it

    It will quiet it down quite a bit. Your distance may be shorter by a few yards, but should quiet down. This was my biggest issue with the new Revo line. Kinda why I dumped them all
