1500 miles & they need to be replaced. What is recommended?
Stock and press the old bushings out?

Why do you think they need replaced? I have not heard of primary bushings ever needing replacement unless there are many thousands of miles. I had a primary roller replaced because it was stuck. Apparently there were some bushings that weren't properly pressed in and the roller wouldn't move. If you are going to do it I would spend the extra 35 bucks and buy the roller kit.

No idea, I've got a belt blower extraordinaire and want to make sure all wear items are in good condition as to rule out those things as causes.

14.5 rollers. If they aren't rolling smoothly, the bushings are probably not installed all the way into the rollers. 2 of mine were like this

I also found 1 primary roller not rolling while installing some new clutch weights. I removed roller and found the inner bushing was not fully seated properly. I was able to tap the bushing into proper position but this is defiantly something to look into.
I just bought this sled used with 1800km and no signs of previous belt blowing or any extra wear on the stock weights I removed.

I had one that never rolled from new. I got a new one under warranty. I know I could have fixed it like you did but it shouldn't have been like that and that's what warranty is for.I also found 1 primary roller not rolling while installing some new clutch weights.

800 km? Wow that's crazy. I would have to change them 4-5 times a season.
