As per your query let me inform you that a guarantor is someone who agrees to be responsible for someone else's payment of debt if the latter makes a default on payments of loan.
Therefore, being a guarantor is not a mere formality to help the borrower, the guarantor is equally responsible for paying off the loan.
Hence, there is merely nothing you can do as per the situation you've stated except compromising the amount with the bank. Since you were your brothers guarantor and your brother has defaulted in paying the borrowed amount, the bank could take appropriate actions as per the law against both you're brother as well as you since you both are parties to the transaction i.e. (borrower and guarantor respectively).
