Default Rear CV Shaft Rebuild

I get vibes over 70mph on acceleration and hard decel. I have an SYE and double cardan driveshaft that was installed by the PO. I want to change the U-Joints and I'd like to replace the centering yoke while I'm in there. The problem is, I don't want to take it all apart and try to figure out which centering yoke I need because I need to do the job from start to finish. What are the odds that the centering yoke is the same as the front? Are there a lot of options out there or is it pretty standard like U-Joints? Can I identify it by dropping the driveshaft without removing the U-Joints so I can order the correct part before I start tearing things down?

Here is a good video of a double cardan rebuild.

I personally would just bring it to a driveline shop and have them rebuild it but that's just me.

Thanks for the video! I have all of the tools I need to rebuild it. That's not a problem. I just need to get all of the right parts first. The place I work on my stuff is 30 minutes from where I live. I may drop the driveshaft at home and see if I can tell anything about it.
