For EGI there is no "simple" and "easy" way. You have to:
1) take off wires and EGI fuse
2) unplug the lower sparkplugs (to keep the ATF in)
3) squirt 2-3 times ATF into the housing
4) bump starter for 0,5 sec
5) repeat (3)-(4) a few times (dont put any more than 100c or so ATF)
6) let car sit for 8-10 hours
7) bump starter again a couple fo times
8) repeat (6)-(7) a couple times (total time >24h)
9) try to remove as much ATF as possible with syringe or by bumping the starter
10) replace wires, plugs, fuse
11) start engine, let it idle for 10 min until it stops smoking
12) go for a rough ride for a couple of minutes
13) kill engine, change plugs
14) thrash car for 5-10 min (redlines)
15) you are set!!

My car dosent have enough miles to perform the ATF trick, but Im wondering, how does takin the bottom plugs help the fluid from not pourin out? It seems that the lower plugs would be the "drain plugs", and are those plugs the trail or leads?And do you squirt the ATF in both plug holes?

In both plug holes ? Yeah, if you want to do both rotors...

What do you mean your car doesn't have enough miles to perform this? Any mileage will produce carbon build-up. Some ppl on the forum do this twice a year. Can't hurt to do it.

Question: If it passes the upper (trailing) plugs first, and lower (leading) plugs second...isn't that odd? I alway assumed they spark leading, then trailing.. But now that seems backwards.

Leading trialing
I assumed that leading refered to the face of the rotor that the spark was igniting.
the rotor passes the trialing plug first, then the leading, then they go off, with the leading plug causing combustion against the leading face of the rotor, and the trailing plug causing combustion in the trailing area, which is why it's so difficult to drive with only your trailing plugs firing.
Not that I have any specifc knowledge of why they were named this way, justs my guess.
