Generally speaking the longest part of replacing a fuse is going to the store to buy a new one.
In household appliances the only fuse a user should be replacing is the one in the plug top, and this should take at most 5 minutes.
Remove the plug from the wall, unscrew the center screw from the plug top and open the plug.
The fuse will be clearly visible. Use a screwdriver or something small to pop out the broken fuse. Replace with a fuse of the same rating. Replace the plug cover reinsert screw and your done.
It should be noted that a blown/ broken fuse is usually (but not always) indicative of a problem in your device (sometimes fuses blow for no apparent reason)
. If this new fuse blows within a relatively short period of time it should be taken as confirmation of a problem with the normal working of the device and an electrician should be contacted.

Not easily and it is very time consuming. Depending on the vehicle you are working on. You must take the head cover off then take the cam shafts out that should let you see the pistons. You must then (not all the time but very very likely) take the engine completely of your car. Take the pistons you wish to replace and replace them then put it back together.

Can time delay house fuse replace an ordinary fuse?
You could, but it would be safest not to. A time delay fuse will allow for a short (12 seconds or less) spike in the current (up to three times the rated current for the fuse). This happens when you start up a motor, or a compressor, etc... If you were to replace a regular fuse (say 2 amp) with a time delay fuse (also 2 amp), then instead of breaking the circuit at 2 amps, the circuit will go 12 seconds at 6 amps before shutting down. This could easily start a fire, so for your safety, it is best to replace a fuse with the exact same kind that came out of it.
