Here is a link from the 700/900 FAQ giving rack replacement info. Note the use of a screwdriver to separate the u-joint allowing the u-joint to slide up the steering shaft. I've seen that mentioned before on the BB. Helpful hint!

You may well need a new rack, but it is still possible that it is that lower u-joint. I suggest giving the penetratrant more time before condemning the rack. Often that lower u-joint does not free-up easily.

BTW - The "stickiness" and not returning to center exactly matches the symptoms I had on my 90 240 when the lower u-joint failed.
