You must re-lube it because the brake cleaner removes all oil from the metal pores and will leave it unprotected. Also, put a tiny film of grease (ordinary auto wheel-bearing grease is fine) on the contact surfaces of the bolt locking lugs.

This, but I'd dismount the scope along with the stock and then go to town with the brake cleaner.
