Alan makes a good point - call IBM support if you are unsure how to proceed. There are documented ways to back off service with VMSES/E and they work well. This assumes you have not deviated from the standard Install and Service of course.
Check out VMFREM. This handy utility will allow you to back-off full service levels. Fortunately if you did the RSU install using SERVICE, then it did good hygiene and did a merge of the apply disks which makes VMFREM work well. You will have to do VMFREM for each component, but that should not be too difficult. Do a HELP VMSES VMFREM or look in the VMSES manual for help/details about that command. Once you are done removing service with VMFREM, you will need to run the VMFBLD process (again) to built the "new" parts (ones w/o service applied to them). I hope that helps get you started.
