Are you using mdadm?
You need to replace it (you need to 'fail' it first to do that), and remove it, and then add a new drive to the remaining part of the array. It will rebuild it itself.
Link <- see steps 3 and 4, and 5 to see if it's rebuilding and when it's done
If you're using anything else (hardware raid controller (card)), consult the proper documentation for that.
