The outer race is the main housing for the skateboard bearing and keeps the entire thing together. Next, the plastic retainer holds each of the balls and allows them to freely spin with the least possible amount of friction. The retiner with the balls in place, snaps around the inner race of the bearing. The 3 center pieces all fit nicely together and are placed in the outer race of the skateboard bearing. The shield is the final and most important piece of skateboard bearings because it will keep all of your dirt and debris out of the skateboard bearings.
