A co-signer just agrees to pick up the payments if the primary person doesn't pay, in most cases, so there wouldn't be a reason to take her off. Also, you can't take her off unless she and the finance company agree.

If the lender agrees,it is possible. However, there is still the issue of title and who has the stronger credit.
