The probably thought they were doing good completely degreasing your parts when they replaced your bearings.
Ticking could also be spoke or rim. Something rim joints will tick too if it's an Al rim.
Old post but the spacer was on there. Only thing that was observeable that could cause such a clamping force was the mentioned corrosion. Clicking sound was later solved by retensioning the spokes and lubing the eyelets by removing the rim tape. Wheel takes some abuse but is now functioning just fine again.
