There are a couple of ways to flush out the system... the correct way would be to remove the rain guards under the front end and get to a penny size cap on the lower drivers side section of your radiator... with absolutely no way to drain it without a messy situation.
However, I and other mechanics will just remove a coolant hose of your choice. Use a funnel to giude the coolant to a bucket on the floor. Raise your car if you want? you might be able to fit a bigger bucket under it this way. Remove the coolant resiviro cap and remove the hose of your choice. Let it drain. When no more coolant comes out... turn on your car for a few minutes NO MORE THAN 5 minutes and let the engine cycle what it has left... when done put your coolant hoses back nice and tight and start filling. When its full turn on your car and wait, fill, wait, fill or else your car will spit "low coolant" CEL's at you all day long.
Good luck
