Bearings are typically sold in sets of 8, thats two for each wheel. Bearings are what allows your board to have smooth and quick movement.
Two bearings sit inside each wheel, one for the front side and another for the back. You are going to want to take care when putting the bearings in your wheels; if you happen to damage the shields they may rub the ball bearings. This causes friction and the bearing will wear and not roll well.
Next each wheel is placed on the truck axle, tighten the axle nuts and you're ready to go. Generally I find double shielded bearings are better for street skating. The others are great for skate parks and other fairly clean and debris free places.
