If you use 3DM, you should be able to do it this way:

1. Navigate to the Configure Display. 
2. Click on the check box of the failed drive. 
3. Click button Remove Drive. 
4. Physically remove the failed drive and replace it with a new drive. 
5. Click on the check box of the new drive. 
6. Click button Add Drive. 

I haven't actually tried it myself, but this should work.
