Steve>>>I placed a few drops of oil in the rear access but there are no previsions for the front. Tried the WD-40 but it did not quite anything down.>>>

If you haven't done so already, I'd try blasting the WD-40 around the front generator armature bearing before exchanging it with another generator. Some of the WD-40 should get into the bearing area to quiet it down at least temporarily if it's the bearing squealing.
