Please can someone help me with fitting my rear brake shoes

The problem is i took the old shoes off fine but when i went to put the new ones on there is a third spring and i have no idea where it goes

thanks for the help but mine has the later brake shoes. it does not have them holes in them neither does there appear to be a stud apart from the one which the retaining clip goes onto, is this what you mean?
and if it helps the car is a 93 CLX

I will try and put some photos on by the weekend

Thanks

They are the self adjusting ones (pain the arse!) They have a hole that is larger on the structure of the shoe than the pin it sits on is. From what i remember when i did mine, if you remove the top and bottom springs, you should then be able to wiggle them off.. they dont pull straight off because the inside is behind the hub. I'm sure someone will be able to explain in full detail.
