If you are having trouble getting the liquidiser to lock into place on your Masterchef 65, here are a few things you can try:
Make sure the blender jar and the base are lined up correctly. The grooves on the base and jar should match up perfectly.
Check to see if the locking mechanism is clean and free of debris. Use a soft cloth to clean the locking mechanism and the area around it.
Try pressing down on the jar while turning it clockwise to see if it will lock into place.
If none of the above works, it may be possible that the locking mechanism is damaged or worn. In this case, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a professional repair technician for further assistance.
I've not seen a bowl stuck on one of those unless the chopping blade is jammed on the shaft and preventing the bowl lifting up. Or is the chef bowl a smaller bowl that fits inside the main bowl?
The motor shaft sleeve and spindle will need to be replaced, once this jamming has happened it becomes ongoing if you do not replace those inexpensive parts. You need to wrap some webbing tightly around the spindle attach the other end to something very solid (like a fence post) and then accelerate the motor part rapidly away from the post. Hold onto the motor very firmly or it will land on the ground.The webbing tightens instantly when it runs out of slack and the spindle will come off. Then you need to remove the motor shaft sleeve in a similar manner, I drill a hole in the end and use a shackle and chain attached to the post for that one. I use the leg of my workshop bench, most folks will not have a solid heavy bench like mine. If that sounds too hard just take it to your local K/A service agent, they will have done it many times.
The manufacturer's website does not provide any information that would suggest that there is a release or a particular technique for removing.
If you were forced to leave in place after using it is possible that food residue has dried and is contributing to the problem. Suggest you try adding some warm soapy water to the bowl and let soak for 10 - 15 minutes.
Pour off the soapy water and then while wearing a protective glove see if you are able to remove the blade with some careful wiggling and twisting.

I tried the vinegar thing but it didn't quite work. We blended some smoothies with yogurt and it leaked through the bottom. No big deal, we tightened it up. We didn't clean it immediately. By the time we went to clean it, it was stuck. The vinegar didn't work, tried baking soda with vinegar, didn't work. Finally we ran the bottom underneath hot water for about 5-10 minutes. Finally after one strong turn the bottom came off. We have an oyster, the base can be used as well to take the bottom off but it turns counter-clockwise.
After trying jetstreams of water, canned air, dishbrushes and soaking the bowl all didn't work, I grabbed a piece of wirea and dug it out. What a pain.
