No, once you open the engine you need to replace all the o-rings, if you want to do it correctly.

Its one of those, while your in there, type of deals, you may as well replace all the apex, side and corner seals, while your in there.

your english is terrible.

if you're sure its a stuck apex seal i would try putting oil into the spark plug holes and turn the engine over. you can also try taking off the exhaust manifold and looking inside to see if a seal is stuck. you might be able to gently loosen it.
