May be the bottom auger bearing. It's copper and there is a nylon replacement. There is also a bearing at top. May be able to get some HD temp grease at both places there.
Ok now auger bearing so thats under that plate that above the auger motor correct.Also once thats removed should i empty hopper first
Cleaned out pellets took out auger looks like someone replaced bushing it has the black plastic so cleaned of both ends of auger and put a little dab of hi temp grease
Well still makes noise think its the auger motor does it at start up then after 3 to4 turns it stops
