Its a Renegade hidden axle kit. Purchased last year from the Renegade tent at Thunder Beach in Panama City Beach, FL.
I called Renegade about the problem twice. They had no solution and were going to call me back both times and I never got a call back. I even e-mailed them the picture of the O ring hanging out of the clamp.
The O ring appeared to be the right size, its the one that came in the axle kit.

I just showed this pic to my tech. He said to loosen up the clamp a lot and pull the cap off. Ensure the o ring is oriented properly and put the cap back in with the o ring on it. Then tighten up the clamp last. We use the same o ring with our axles that Renegade uses. I hope this helps although I am not sure it will.

The tighter the clamp gets the more the O ring starts coming out. It's possible its the wrong O ring, but it is the one that came in the kit.
I thought Renegade would at least send me a new O ring to try, but I guess not. LOL.

I have some o rings here if you want one. Just let me know and PM me your address. Who installed the axle? I also work very closely with renegade and would bet if you call and talk to Amanda that she would send you a new o ring.
