You'll need a wrench to remove the plug on the side of the block. I always do a drain/replace with the front end lifted, and I never actually 'flush' with a hose. If you're gonna flush it, do it the way that link shows - replace with pure distilled water until it runs clear.

I wouldnt change my coolant without this tool (see link) unless you want to burp by hand a couple of times.
