Kwiksets are easy! You pick it up, study it closely, turn it around study it even closer, walk over to the corner and rather aggressively toss it in the trash.

Yep the cylinder. The faceplate of the knob should pop off when you have the spindle (long square parts)removed.

Actually I'm not sure how you managed to remove the spindle like that.

The cylinder seem to be part of the knob

and both the end of the plug and the spindle have threads.

so I pulled to unscrew.
