I'm buying some irons on ebay and they're a great deal, but they have ugly orange ferrules, and one of the clubs is even missing one. I have a blow torch and some knowledge on how to reshaft a club, but I've never done it before. Is it ok to take off the shaft by just pulling it apart with my hands? It's a steel shaft so it doesnt look like I could do any harm.

You won't hurt a steel shaft.  I just heat with a heat gun (torch works too but careful not to get it too hot) and pull the clubhead off with a work glove.

You are best off with a vice. Something to hold the club while you have the torch on it. If it is steel shaft you can absolutely get the head off without a puller. Once the club gets hot enough you can pull it off with a glove.

If graphite, if you care about the shaft, you will need a puller.
