Hi. The fusible links are the big fuses located in the fuse box. The exact location of the fuses depend on the engine and on the version of the car. In 1997 Toyota built series
7 Corolla. At the end of 1997 Series 8 was introduced. in the year 1997 both models with different engines were distributed. There are up to 4 fusible links (big fuses ranging from 30 Amp towing protector to 100 Amps) See here.
Low amps fusible links are also in passenger compartment.
The fusible links are simply fuses and can get replaced using long nose pliers.
Below I have published the fuse diagrams covering Toyota series 7 (1993 to 1997) models.
The fusible links can be purchased here. The site also includes schematics.
In case the car is a series 8 (late 1997), here service manual for series 8.
Here a fuse link for Corolla 1997, color may vary depending on amps, the one below is low amp current 30A, 100A is usually blue and 40A green, there may be black fuses with no color code:
Hi.
Your box should be like the one below:
When the link bolt cannot be undone you usually have a subunit that comes out. The subunit is part of the fuse plate. The subunit with links is held by clips.
I am sorry for being vague. Please take in account that fusible link removal is not described in service documentation, and that I am not in front of the vehicle. If I was there I would look for clips holding the assembly with the fusible links. If the fuse box is all in one piece it may be necessary to disassemble the box itself. Do not forget to disconnect the battery before doing the repair.
If there are no clips the removal is done releasing bottom of the fuse panel. The fuse panel must be removed. The link is removed by by pushing it down and undoing the bolt. Even if newer Corolla allows to remove the link from the top, the removal works that way in other Toyota. On the RAV4 you have to remove the fuse panel. You unbolt the fuse box and lift it to separate it from the frame.Lift the box and reach the bolts (there should be two of them) holding the fuse link. To lift the box you need to pry the u shaped clips located at the the side of the box. I think the E10 Corolla (from 1992 to 1997) is similar.
Resuming:
Disconnect battery.
See if there are outside tabs holding the box free the box releasing the clips.
Check the box. See if there is a sub assembly that comes out. That will be held by tabs or clips. It will give you access to the screws.
In some case you have to pry two parts of the box. I do not have the box in front but I do not think this is the case.
Please read also my previous comments.

SOURCE: Removing the 100 amp fuse link in a 1994 toyota corolla
the fuse link is bolted in from the two side in the fusebox.you have to un bolt the whole fusebox so you can raise it and if you look at the sides there are two side panels that can be moved down so you can get a socket or spanner on the two bolts apprx 10mm. undo them and raise the fuse out and put the new one in and tighten up the bolts again. hope this helps.

Hello,
Usually the fuses are in the fuse box in the vehicle, linkible fuses are found in the fuse box under the hood.
I hope this helps you.
