No, just the taper and the tension from the draw bar. The thread protector is supposed to be used to push it back out. I haven't needed it as yet.

No, its an interference fit with the spindle bore.

And to protect the threads. Always use it or you may not be able to installed your threaded chucks or faceplates someday.
 
I have a potential piece to the puzzle you can have for free. I was practicing cuttting internal threads and made a 2 3/8-6 thread protector/ejector for my sb 16. Its not a piece of art but just a little more facing to allow the 5c adapter to seat in the spindle and it will do the job.IMG_1201.PNG
