I actually don't think it's possible. The ticket is priced RT to SIN. You can't retroactively create a fare break.

The realistic options are:

1. Call UA and ask how much to refare to W (and see if they'll waive change fee);
2. See if it's possible to upfare to P;
3. Do a miles + cash upgrade for the NRT-SFO segment.
