I'm shocked that I have to order this Kwikset cylinder removal tool

I must be missing something simple.

I give up.
I tried for hours to remove the lock so I could put it right side up
instead of upside down in my right hand door.

It seems I lack a three-dollar tool.

Instead of ordering the tool, I'm so very frustrated with this 50 dollar
Kwikset lock that I'm returning it to the Home Depot tomorrow.

What I learned so far is to never ever again purchase any door entry lock
that doesn't SAY whether it's a right or left-handed lock!

Otherwise, half the time, we'd be buying the WRONG lock!

I suspect Kwikset did this on purpose but for the life of me, I can't
figure out what perverse thoughts were in their mind to torture us so.
