I use a regular small wrench. You might be able to take the striker and spring out and go at the nipple from the end of the frame with a nut driver. When you get the nipple out, put anti-seize on it and only put it in hand tight.
Nipples, they come in 2 different sizes. One is a standard 1/4 X 28 and other is a large diameter size. Not sure what the thread size is it maybe be 28.
I have 2 Yazels, each one is as above.
If yours is the large diameter nipple not sure where to find one, I have a friend who is going to get me a couple in June at Friendship.

Not meaning to be contrary. But, considering the many imports and older originals, there are many different sized nipples. The more modern stuff we are accustomed to using are 90% set up for those two sizes mentioned.
The nipple in my .32 is a totally different size, larger, than I have ever seen.
I am use to seeing different size nipples from the various rifles and pistols that I have.
When I get around to it, I will pull the nipple and put the thread check on it to get the size and then mike the length and diameter of the nipple.
Only thing I know is that I have had the nipple out twice and have looked at it and it is not 1/4 X 28 and it is not metric.
All I was doing was trying to help the OP.

Well pulled the nipple out of the .32
Dimensions are;
Thread is 20
Threaded part is 0.485 in diameter
Overall length is 0.835
Where Hot Shot nipples have two (2) holes on the curved part of the nipple, this one has one (1) hole in it and is placed on the flat where a wrench is used to remove/install the nipple.
To remove the nipple requires a wrench or pointed vice grip. No way a nut driver will work.
I tried the wrench that goes with my Ten Ring and it will not work.
You might try a 9/32 open end wrench or a 5/15 closed end wrench.
