Question Cooling System Flush

I posted this in here to get quicker replies.

I am in need of flushing my cooling system since its a nasty brown color when it pukes into the overflow tank. My question is, is there a way to undo one of the heater hose lines and use my water hose to flush the system? If so, how would I go about doing that?
