I'd just halt the server and remove the failed disk and would leave all the RAID stuff in-place as theres no need to remove it, really. It sounds like your client thinks there might be issues, but there really shouldn't be any. (nor performance issues either) Why can't you find a replacement disk? You can always put in a bigger one if neccessary...
