That sounds like it could be the lever to me. I accidentally installed one of levers upside down when I did mine a month ago, and it would hit on a part of the rotor and make a loud "clicking" noise as I rotated the wheel. With 6 hours of work in it already, you'll be able to take that one assembly apart and put it back together in less than 1 now I bet!
