You are correct, but having been thru this before, I'd recommend 
doing almost anything else because I was never able to replace 
this rivet properly. If I had this to do over again, I would cut the thin 
strip of rubber that goes around that hinge point and either trim it 
away completely, or use some "Black Max" superglue to glue it 
back together once the seal was installed.

I have always regretted removing my rivets.
