Replace a failing disk in Pool (not main array)

Hi, I'm a very new user of UnRAID so many apologies if this has been asked before.  I have an UnRAID box with 1) the main array, 2) an SSD cache, and 3) a pool formatted as BTRFS (RAID 6).  One of the disks in the BTRFS pool is failing and I would like to replace it while keeping my data in the pool intact.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thank you

Hi, found simply stopping the array and replacing the drive is all I need to do.  Right now, I think the btrfs pool is rebuilding...is there somewhere that shows the progress?  Thanks!
