There are some tools at work I can choose from (to pic up for maintainance at home) .. the rim tape is still on now .. does a 5,5mm hexagon nut fit on the HED. Jet6 Black spoke nippel (yes, it's small enough for the spoke hole) .. thanks in advance !!

The nipples are double square. 3.2mm is the nipple size. you need a square tool, like this one https://www.parktool.com/...h-3-2mm-square-sw-16

I've got one of these to take the guess work out of what I need (https://www.parktool.com/...ipple-wrench-sw-15):


Otherwise a combo of a 1/4" socket driver and a small profile socket might work too:
