Message I use that doesn't involve making any parts or another hose.

Get a large trash bag and a rubber band. Put the bag over the coolant
out line, wad up the excess then use the rubber band to hold it tight
around the line. Depending on the size of your rubber band you may
have to make several "loops" like ladies do when tying their hair up in a
pony tail to get it tight. Drape the bag over the front bumper and then
tear a small hole in the corner of it closest to the ground.

Next lay a couple large towels underneath the bag on your bumper
cover. This is to prevent the heat from the coolant flowing through the
bag from causing any issues on your paint job.

The coolant will drain out through the hole in the bag and onto the
ground. If you know that your coolant is particularly dirty then park you
car near a storm grate so that you don't make a mess on your driveway.

I also used about 4 gallons of distilled. I used the tap water for the initial
flush then when it was clear, I flushed an additional 2 gallons of distilled
through and then used the remaining for the fill up.
