You simply don't. Co-signing is like vouching for someone in the mob. The lender made the loan because YOU promised to back the borrower and pay if they didn't. Like mafia, if the borrower turns out to be a rat, you get the cement shoes along with them for vouching for them. You may need to consult with a bankruptcy lawyer.
