As long as the asbestos is on the outside of the duct I wouldn't mess with it.
If you feel you must remove it you need to take a lot of precautions to do it safely. At a minimum you'll need a containment area.....don't allow the fibers to infiltrate other areas of the home!
You'll need to maintain negative air pressure in the containment area.
You'll need to spray a lock down solution on the asbestos. That will help to keep the fibers from getting airborne when you remove the duct.
Wear a Tyvek or similar throw away suit. Use a respirator (not a dust mask!).
Yes, encapsulate the duct with as little disturbance of the asbestos as possible. Then double bag it.
Chances are if you tackle this yourself you'll be creating a worse situation than just leaving it alone. My advice is to hire an asbestos abatement contractor. It won't be cheap, but what value do you put on your family's health?
