Well I found this for the roll pin removal: https://youtu.be/6e8VE7UQLvw?si=irK2pSDyOUVvdKto

That method will not work for the Z because the Z ignition lock uses a solid pin for retention, not a roll pin. I mean, I guess you could drill directly into the pin and then thread it and use a puller to yank it, but the geometry is all just so small.

Last time I removed a pin, I drilled into side of the lock cylinder (figuring that I didn't care if there was a hole in it since I was replacing it anyway). Something like this:

Thanks! Glad I didn’t binge buy the tool yet. I have no idea how to remove the lockset without drilling then. Still would like to know the part number of that kit.

The kit number I purchased was A-16-104. I also managed to purchase another kit later which had the wafers for the ignition. It was the A-16-100.
Be careful when shopping on ebay for old kits. Some are less than complete - missing some of the original parts. The wafers are all you need to rekey the locks, but some of this kits came with nice additional pieces like lock faces and new rubber gaskets. Kits I bought... second pic is the 104. Third pic is the 100.

Thankyou for confirming my suspicions! I missed purchasing that A-16-100 Kit last week on eBay. Someone else picked it up! I’m pretty sure the A-16–105 kit has the correct ignition tumblers in it also. I did manage to pick up a set of Curtis key punches though and a code book. Looking forward to having this capability to match lock sets.
