You wouldn't replace in this context.

You would mount degraded on the remote system and copy in the new files.

After the returning the new drive, you would mount normally, but getting the new content mirrored requires a rebalance.

Replace is for a blank drive, and it hasn't worked very well for me, as status/usage reported some data that was not mirrored; a rebalance fixed this.
