How is the outside front brake pad on a 01 buick lasaber held on?

I am changing the front brakes on a 01 buick lasaber and I don't see any %26quot;clips%26quot; that hold the outside brake pad into positon. Does it just stay on due to pressure or am I missing something?How is the outside front brake pad on a 01 buick lasaber held on?Compare to the other wheel that you haven't taken the old pads off yet, or have you? They can't move up because of the top metal of the caliper and they can't move too far in or out because of the rotor and the outside of the caliper. There may be tangs on them to hold them otherwise. The first website below clearly shows big clips holding the outside pad.
