Removing hacks: It's at this stage if you have hacks on your database, you can remove them from this test duplicate copy of your database you just created in step 3 - which has your imported back up sql file from step 4.

I don't understand what it means to remove hacks.

I currently have vba cmps and GARS as large add-ons. I also have some minor php hacks which I probably forget and some template modifications.

How does one remove hacks?
