If you re-make the array with the same parameters as it has now the data will not be lost (assuming it is still there now). If 1 disk is really bad then leave it out. The procedures depend on which program you use to create the array. Do you use mkraid or mdadm?

I have never tried this with my raid, but if you add another disk it well be re-synced, ergo it tries to rebuild the array out of the CRCs on the other drives, if you remove two, you don't have enough redudant data to do this (raid 6 can recover from a 2 drive failure).
