...One of many things NOT available on drum brakes is the "telltale" in the disc brake pads that warn a semi-alert driver to the fact that the pads are getting close to replacement by "squeaking". No such thing in drum brakes until there is metal-to-metal contact by which time the drum is probably toast...
When
the pads are getting close to replacement as given in your statement then the heads of the rivets are within 1/32" from the lining surface (service manual, section IV "brakes"). In this case a satisfactory adjustment cannot be obtained and the degree of wear should have an influence on the pedal free play and the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir. No need to wait until metal-to-metal contact - so much so more if the talk is of glued lining.
