Default Flip Kwikset left-hand lock knob to right-hand keyhole reversal

I've never net searched this question. I use a cylinder removal
tool which I got from my wholesale parts house. You have to
remove the center shaft, and snap the cylinder out. Snap it back
in (right side up) and replace the center shaft.

Is the procedure to flip the Kwikset keyhole documented (with

I should note this is a keyed "entry" lock, with no screws in

the keyed
half of the lock. If the keyhole reverses, it must be via some

sort of
lever or tab as there is no way I can even see to get the knob

off.

I think the door entry lock part number is Kwikset 25513-001.

Where can I find PICTURES or DIAGRAMS of the procedure to flip

a Kwikset
entry lock from the left-hand keyhole position to a

right-handed lock?
