I like stock. Unscrew the nut a couple turns but leave a couple turns threaded. I’m pretty sure it’s a 25mm. Pull the wheel to break it loose. Leaving the nut loose on the shaft will keep it from m hitting you in the face if it requires a lot of force to remove. You can tap the back of the rim with a rubber mallet to get it started.

Don’t use the steering lock to hold the wheel when you remove the nut. It’s not meant for that much force.

Do I need to take that center bolt off to repair blinkers and install new ignition switch?

Yes. It should take about 2 minutes to remove the wheel. Use a impact gun to remove the nut if you have one. Straighten the wheels before removal to make reinstall easier.
