Gluster users - Oct 2016 - Remove a brick, rebuild it, put it back in

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but the documentation is a bit
conflicting in various sources on what to do exactly.

I have an 6-node, distributed replicated cluster with a replica factor of
2. So it's 3 pairs of servers. I need to remove a server from one of those
replica sets, rebuild it and put it back in.

What's the tried and proven sequence of steps for this? Any pointers would
be very useful.

Thanks!
  Sergei

Oh, I'm running 3.7.12

What I always do is just shut it down, repair (or replace) the brick, then start
it up again with "...  start $volname force".
