fuel lift pump-replacing outlet fitting,any special precautions?

replacing the banjo bolt on my lift pump outlet.

I removed the outlet valve, kept the valve side very clean
Ok to just clean the female side with brake cleaner?(1/4" fpt)
looks like there's a little gummy in there
the valve side looks real clean

I'm fitting a brass barb into the female bolt on the valve,
not s part of the valve is made of...
should i use thread sealant, or antiseize?

You are talking about the overflow valve?

If so, no antisieze or thread sealant.

No,
about the outlet from the lift pump;
where the fuel goes from the lift pump to the inlet on the fuel filter

I made a mistake and now need to change those fittings
I didn't put anything on the threaded fitrting (looks like it has a vavle in it)
that goes into the lift pump
I put a 1/4 x 3/8 brass barb into the lp fitting
I used antiseize, its not too late if I should change the sealant
