I don't think Dodge meant for you to put the brake cleaner inside but to use it on the outside of the joint to get it squeaky clean before putting a bead around the joint. I did the same thing to the bung on my oil pan as it had been spun slightly and it was seeping oil around it. That was about 7 years ago and not a drop since. I've done the same thing on a couple of other things that were similar. Has worked well for me.
