the drum uses a nut to hold it on, remove the dust cover and you will see it, just like the front brakes on old rear wheel drive car, and the spring you see is the lower retaining spring and the adjuster is just below it, kind of a pain to get to but it is there.

I had one of those vans. On one of the lugs there is a small clip holding the drum on, it is probably rusted so you can't see it, it is a tight fit. If you got that off, smack it with a hammer a few times to loosen it up some.
