Yes, Step #9 will not work with just a Socket. I have broke two seals using "just a Socket" then fabricated a proper multi-stepped surface Seal driver to push on 3 surfaces simultaneously

Body Pan floor plugs were installed AFTER paint so they would be bare galvanized plated steel and these have paint applied from some owner in its history.

Fact check me boys, Do I have this correct?

So the blue was applied outside of factory building-construction.

There has been some discussion about UPC 1 (BODY) / A2 WS Wiper Motor & Linkage, A3 Wiper Blades, Transmission and Cowl Vent panel & RPO Z28 striping and potential overspray on the black linkage at the different plants and how it relates to the assembly process and the potential for this detailing feature.
