How do i take off the upper 4x4 drive shaft

G K50 said the yoke on it needed cleaned up, so when i tried to unbolt the claps with a 9mm it was to small so i got a 10mm wrench and it was to big so i used a non metric wrench that was in the middle of those and it still sliped on the bolts, i have no idea why, so then i tried to get the rubber boot off to see if i could clean it from there but i dont know how to take off the silver clamps, ssooo what am i doing wrong

Dutter, are you talking about the 94 Ranger in your garage? What are you calling the upper drive shaft? The front drive shaft or the front 4x4 shaft going to the wheel ends?

Perchance were you using a 6 point wrench? I believe the bolts are 12 point.
