Even with the ground off socket it is hard to hold it on the nut. If you think/hope that your forks are in alignment, then don't ever tighten/loosen fasteners with the forks against the stops.

Also, a standard socket held in a vice grip type pliers will work on the bottom nut holding the slider on.
