2001 Carribean Diesel pusher

Yesterday we left Central Illinois on a trip to Springfield Ohio for a swap meet and car show. Well, we are back home after spending the night at a rest stop near Brownsberg, Indiana. We ended up with a hole in the fan side of the radiator. A small hole about two thirds the way down. Almost impossible to reach. After tank got low system went into shutdown. Long story short after calling five different repair shop numbers I could not find one person to come out to help us. As soon as I said RV they said their goodbys!

My youngest son ended up driving 150 miles to bring me some two part jb weld material that could be used on a wet surfaces.(something I should have had on board and will from now on) We put a small ball of tyhe material over the hole and pressed itt into place. We allowed the putty to dry overnight filled the radiator with water and made the trip home with no leaks.

Now I am worried about the fix coming loose or more leaks. I would like to take the radiator out and have it checked. Does anyone have any experience removing these rear radiators? It looks like I can unbolt the support frame and remove an upper panel, but not sure. Wish there was a manual to explain the process. Can anyone help.
