Just renewed both tie rod ends, but when trying to
tighten the nuts that secure them to the struts both nuts
refuse to tighten, resulting in excessive play.
These are BN tie rods and nuts, have not stripped the threads
as I have never tightened them before fitting.
Is this just a a case of putting a jack under them, as in the removal procedure?

Yes, you need to put pressure from underneath, otherwise the bolt part will just spin in the hub.

Why can I never remember your name?
That's not strictly a technical problem btw.
