If I have to, I may just cad all the nuts and bolts by hand, but if there's an easier way, I would much rather do it that way.
sounds like you need to add a mate constraint between the face of the sprocket and one of the flat faces on the wheel. You can apply an offset dimension to this mate so the position away from the wheel is defined.

As for the hardware. I would figure out what screw you want, and constrain one. Then use the pattern feature to generate the rest of the screws. All you will need is the angle in between the holes and you will be all set.
