If they used BLUE, it's meant to do three things:
1. Keep fastener from shaking loose
2. Seal water therefore rust from threads
3. Allow fastener removal with hand tools
With elcheapo's information I'm very comfortable in repeating my first suggestion: Persevere... Get a better wrench if you need to. He can probably tell you the correct metric socket size if you don't already have it. Harbor Fright's 1/2 breaker bar is $10. I think they only sell sockets in sets but both Lowe's and Home Depot have them individually.
DO get a tube of Blue Loc-Tite for re-assembly. NOT Red! If you use RED and ever go to take it back apart, you'll be singing the ....Blues... Sorry, couldn't resist...
