You may have bent your axle. A slight bend in the axle causes the teeth to get really tight at a certain point in the rotation. You wont be able to see the bend if its slight because the axles are so small, even when its spinning, but its enough to cause the clicking. Happened twice to 2 axles I pull on and off alot. Actually I took apart the axles to mod them with custom rims, and thats how it happened.

Torule out the spur gear (middle gear) as a possible cause, swap out axles with an identical one but leave the same spur gear on. If the clicking goes away then it was the axle like I suspect and the spur if fine. Otherwise Defor is right no the money.Hope this helps.
