Exclamation HELP! Having trouble changing rear brake pads!

I decided to change my rear brake pads on my 99 F250LD and I've run into a problem: I can't figure out how to get the blasted caliper back on! The brake pads seem to have a notch on the bottom of the inside pad and a notch on the top of the outside pad, or at least that's how the originals were. I managed to wiggle it out of there because I suppose I had enough room with the worn out pads, but with the new pads I can't seem to get the notch on either the top or the bottom (depending on which one I start with) of the mounting bracket. I hope I've described this properly. I've never run into this sort of brake arrangement. I'm used to the older Ford front discs with the shim that you drive in. My Chilton's manual is useless, naturally. It doesn't even show the setup I have. HELP! My truck is on jacks as we speak.

Nevermind. I figured it out and all is well. Ignore the previous post.
