There is a strange alternative which might fix the problem. I read a post where a guy said he took the back cover off his ipod and put a folded business card on the hard drive and closed it with the business card wedged between the back cover and the hard drive, I tried it as well and with two folded business cards it did the job, the ipod works perfectly again. The clicking noise you hear is because when the hard drive spins up to a speed it starts moving causing the clicking noise, giving it that little support completely solves the problem. It took a while getting the cover off but with a flat screwdriver working from one of the corners to the side of the ipod will get it off.
