So it sounds like I'll have to spray something underneath and slowly loosen and scrape away at it? Would stuff like WD40 or Goo gone work? Or is there something else I should try?
I found a thing of Kwik seal. Does this sound like what is being used on the flange here? Is this good stuff to use to secure the new flange afterwards? or should I get something else?

Gorilla tape, Duct tape, aluminum tape. I'd probably do the aluminum tape.
If its PVC and the area is flat, you could almost patch it. Cut a piece of PVC like a big thick bandaid and glue it on the crack with PVC cement. That cement isn't just a glue it causes a chemical reaction and melts the PVC together. So it would be a pretty good repair.
Disclaimer:I'm a complete amateur. But I wouldn't be destroying my cabinets to replace a vent line with a small crack without trying other things first.
