Remove each pulley. From each pulley remove the plastic ring that protects the bearings. Using brake cleaner... carb cleaner... spray out the bearings... clean them up... apply dabs of grease to the cleaned bearings... reinstall plastic ring... reinstall pulleys... enjoy.

If noise remains identify the errant pulley... replace the bearings... you're good to go and you save $190.
