Can anyone advise how to turn the tie rods to center the wheel, as I'm afraid to mess up my toe settings?

Depends on the tie rods and the way they are threaded, left or right-hand. Best thing to do is just observe the movement as they are turned, carefully noting the amount of turns so that you can easily undo what you have done.
