You can't. Its his car titled in his name and in theory he could sue YOU for its return. At best you can sue him for contribution or trying to enforce some verbal agreement for payment. This is what happens when you co-sign for people that the banks already know are not trustworthy. This is more of a family issue than a legal one so you most practical remedy here is to find come conrpomise to address this.
