so I assume it's a dead simple swap onto a B3 shaft as well?

You simply can't buy one without shaft from Audi

Default Not exactly dead simple....

I had a heck of a time getting the bearing off the driveshaft. I spent about as much time working in that as I did getting the shaft out of the car and back in. Something like an air hammer and a good vice would make the job much easier.

It does work nicely though.
