Nope! That would damage the bearing and you'll be replacing it again.

I am in the same position as you (but not actually needing the replace a front bearing) - my wheel bearing press set is a tad too small for the front bearings.
Did a great job on the two rear bearings I've replaced so far.

When the time comes (if it comes!), I will likely take the same approach as you - use various DIY adapters to get it done...
