Loctite never hurts on critical bolts but a fresh nyloc nut, properly torqued, is probably just fine. I don't repack the bearings. The upper bearing isn't designed to be repacked and the lower bearing is cheap enough that it doesn't make sense to not replace it. My preference would be to replace the lower bearing with one that has shields or seals on both sides, anyway.
I'd suggest cleaning the locking mechanism of the ignition switch while you have everything apart.
